Volume 1 The Rain Fairy Chapter 27 The Anger of the Elders
At night, the mountain pass, the sound of the hollow valley. One by one, one after another, all kinds of forms of continuity.
The night coast under the deep sky is constantly singing about the silence and unwillingness of the waves.
All the people gather together to build a source of fire.
A blazing bonfire drives away the cold night. Let this merciless and boundless sea reflect people's friendly smiling faces.
Steel supports, full of slaughtered cattle and sheep, plump chunks of meat, evenly sprinkled with pepper and salt. Rotate constantly to further enrich the flavor during the baking.
The meat is fatty and rich. It is enough to make every big gourmand salivate in his mouth. The mellow wine of the big altar and the big altar are opened one by one, ten miles inside and outside, and they have smelled sweet.
Singing and dancing around the flames. The colorful silk yarn lantern is full of this grand and joyful scene!
The quiet and secluded Xunyu Town, this enthusiasm and cordiality, I am afraid that no matter how numb and icy people are, I can't help but open my heart to the cracks, blend into it, and embrace this rare warmth.
Big Tent.
An old mattress topper, the corners of which were bitten by mosquitoes, folded and double-layered, and stuck to the ground. Simple laying, even potholes, gravel, and gravel cannot be fully covered.
A small wooden table, a few large pieces of freshly cooked beef shank, a few pots of rice wine most commonly sold in the town, and under the lamp, there are still superficial marks of the scum.
The two old men sat opposite each other. The contents of each cup did not mean to greet.
Elder Shan, who stood upright with short hair, tore off a piece of beef fiercely. After chewing a few times, I don't know the taste. "In the blink of an eye, it has gone to dozens of cold and summer, this comfortable scene, I don't know how many times I can experience it,"
Elder Feng on the other side, put down the folding fan. A sip of wine poured into his stomach and said reproach. "Old things, it's not pleasing, when it's happy, it's a time to sweep people's wine,"
Glaring at it. "When a person reaches an old age, he doesn't recognize his old age. I want to eat five or six catties of meat back then, and I will eat it clean in the blink of an eyelid. But now, it's hard to swallow a few bites,"
A package of horns, despised. "You can't compare to me in this regard. The old man has a strong physique, pays attention to health, and alternates the seasons, whether morning or night. Even if you live for a few more decades, it's easy and easy.
Old fellow, since you feel that your physical strength is not good, why don't you quickly abdicate and make way for Xian, and return to your broken horse circle, anyway, you are not like you in the town,"
Rise. "Sour Xiucai, you still kicked your nose in the face!
In case of trouble, you will move your mouth and face the enemy, faster than a rabbit! β
Look at each other. "I call judging the situation, knowing the rules and regulations, knowing the advance and retreat, strategizing, and winning a thousand miles. Just blindly rushing, not hitting the south wall and not looking back, is really embarrassing! β
Rise. "At the beginning of Xiaodeng Mountain, I don't know who, I was beaten with my head and scurrying, and even the military flag was torn to tatters,"
Disdain. "I don't remember, who hid in the Pingye ditch, the small and medium-sized thieves were in ambush, and they couldn't form an army, and they couldn't even wear their pants!"
Borrowing wine to play, the Ming Dynasty is ironic.
The two tried their best to find out that the other party had been embarrassed and exposed the scars.
At this time, the human voice is getting closer.
An old man in a blue shirt walked in with a reluctant look and was very tired. Say hello, and then concentrate on vigilance. pinched his nose for a moment, as if it was difficult to bear the smell of wine from the two people in the tent!
Move the stool away, take out a neat hand towel, wipe the chair surface again and again, and then lift the hem, and sit down only a little edge. I don't want to look at the two drunken old guys, and I don't have the interest to speak.
Elder Shan, impatient. "Lao Shui, I'm finally waiting for you to come back, what's the matter, what instructions does the boss have?"
Elder Shui couldn't resist it, and vigorously waved away the wine breath with his sleeves. "Not really. The basic schedule of Xunyu has come to an end, and the remaining days will be easier.
Tomorrow's public vote, as long as we attend the witness, the boss has a headache, this year's event caused by all kinds of losses, I am afraid to intensify the conflict. I hope that we will assist diligently and reassure people's hearts as soon as possible.
Also, for the girls who are running for this year, he is waiting for our opinions, after all, this is a top priority, and we must be cautious and repeatedly.
Detailed, including the candidate's assessment results, performance, comprehensive quality, demeanor, and a series of other messy considerations before ascending.
To tell you the truth, if I hadn't kept an eye on it, I wouldn't have been able to come back tonight."
Elder Feng shook the folding fan and handed over the report card. "In this year's election, the results are a bit miserable. The central clan of the town, who knows the roots, and the daughters of several larger families, have had many accidents, and all of them have been defeated. Mona is the only one left, and she is the only one.
What is difficult to figure out is that the pair of sisters on the thirty-seventh and the thirty-eighth are like two dark horses, and they have accidentally killed all the races.
Subordinates investigated, the two girls were born in ordinary small and medium-sized families in the village, and the process of the event was mostly luck. Reluctantly took over, and the road ahead will not be easy,"
Elder Shan, with an irritated expression. "It's difficult.
Wandering for decades, the years do not wait for anyone!
The old man doesn't want to be enthusiastic this year and pay in vain. Thinking that I marched into a formation, with a martial arts skill, and brought into the coffin, wouldn't there be no successor? β
Disdain. "Said with a shy face, what kind of bullshit skills are you like jumping up and down and playing monkey, in front of General Xunyu, you can't walk Shihe!
Which one is like me, who understands the heavens, knows feng shui, looks at the earth's veins, and observes people's hearts. It's a pity that all these methods are lost,"
Satirize. "Old loach, what do you have to brag about!
Full of confidence to take everyone to the East China Sea Xiaomen Mountain, did not walk a few miles, the army lost, if it is not for a local veteran, we will starve to death there!
I'm afraid you learned this way of observing the sky from a donkey! β
Fire rush. "It's obvious that you are greedy for merit, taking advantage of the rain and traveling at night, not waiting for the scouts to return, before you go astray, and when you see a monkey butt, you have to be a guide light,"
Elder Shui had no intention of seeing the two of them fighting, and his expression was gloomy. "Think about it, at that time, I was still a little soldier who was fighting against the Quartet, and now I am full of hair.
If this old age can really cultivate a 'Xun Yu' to appear, when the heavens report it, it will be good to have the face to face the general to give an explanation. I implore you not to fight with each other in righteousness, but to think about the future,"
Stir up the bonfire and say directly. "If you're going to be the successor, I'll choose Mona!
She is highly evaluated by many parties, and she is the best girl in this test. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her clan has been of great benefit to our future development. Especially the one that doesn't let the eyebrows go, like a general.
The old man is working the battlefield, and she will be able to apply what she has learned,"
Look at the flames and be distracted. "Mona, I'm not optimistic.
It doesn't matter if I'm conceited and high, or it's sour and rotten. In the following opinion, fighting and killing will not play much role in the future situation.
Mona is dark by nature, vicious and vicious, such a child will be very dangerous in the future!
What I think about is that a girl with qualifications or not so good looks is not so good, but as long as she understands the general situation, understands the wind, and can successfully complete the task, she can promote the harmonious improvement of my town in the future.
No. 37, bold and lively, vibrant, can be used as a reference, inheriting our mantle,"
Shook his head again and again. "General Xunyu is alive, he is strong and brave in his life. Everyone in the world is looking forward to it, respecting and loving!
If this contest selects a girl with mediocre qualifications for no reason to succeed the future of the general, what is the point of decades of hard work in reviewing and testing! β
Accuse. "Then you want to teach your children to be brave and ruthless, and cultivate a demon who kills people without blinking!"
Protest. "Nonsense, Mona is still young, how can this be, we only pay a little attention, she must have made a big difference!"
Dignified. "Could it be that your old guy is still dead set on it, fantasizing, we will one day enter the imperial capital, rebel and seize the throne, and give General Xunyu a fairness?
Wake up, you and I have already stepped into the coffin, and we still think that those unrealistic things will follow in the footsteps of her clan sooner or later,"
Accuse. "It's really sour, don't seek to be motivated!"
Refutation. "Big and brainless, stubborn!"
Depressed. "Two, don't do it, don't do it, if you guys have a bloody head, it's not good to look on stage, let's discuss it in private, a gentleman's agreement,"
Unison. "I didn't discuss it with this sauerkraut (stupid cow)!"
Air, calm down.
Elder Shui, get up and confess. "I have understood the two thoughts, and I will go to them,"
Consistent with the outside world. "Stop, don't go yet!
Lao Shui, what's the matter, I'm going to report to the boss again, it's not authentic!
If you let us both give our opinions, who do you recommend? β
Afraid of the two of them, they took a few steps back, carefully smoothed the folds of their chests, and said solemnly. "Old Husband's Resolution, No. 38,"
When the second elder heard this, he was shocked!
One person is unstable!
A buttress wall!
Blowing his beard and glaring, he was about to kick the table over in a panic!
Exclaim. "What, what, what do you say, are you dreaming, talking nonsense?
It's such a big deal, it's no joke! β
Conscientious. "It's not."
Check. "That's not going to work!"
Loud. "Not really!"
Teether. "Definitely not!"
Waving. "Absolutely not!"
Determination. "That's right, don't choose!"
Teether. "Whoever you choose, you can't choose her!"
Echo. "Even if Xunyu is hanging zero again in this competition!"
Simultaneous. "We're ready to face the judge!"
This resentment, this anger, Elder Shui looked surprised and asked. "You guys, why is that?
Two adults, I only voted for one contestant, seek truth from facts, why is it so hostile, that little girl, where did you offend you?
As an important official manager, prejudice, arrogance, and hidden selfishness are absolutely unacceptable,"
Rhetorical question. "You're distinct, pretending to be confused. What point does she have, what can she do, which side, can succeed General Xunyu, you say! β
Bland. "She passed four tests,"
The second elder is weak.
I hate to grab Elder Shui's combed hair without a little frizz and throw it out of the tent!
Rage. "Not at all!"
Surprised. "That old man doesn't understand,"
explained. "That girl, it's not in line with the original intention of the Xunyu Competition!"
Echoed. "Yes, there is no possibility of being Xunyu's successor at all!"
Doubt. "Why?"
Occur. "She's, too, charming,"
Seconded. "Enchanting,"
Remember. "Simple,"
Occur. "Delicate,"
Click. "Vulnerable,"
Reveal. "Powerless,"
Admit. "Grievances,"
Ponder. "Cowardice,"
Shake oneβs head. "Cowardly,"
Accuse. "Capricious,"
Think about it. "Bad character!
Sure. "I've always been in trouble,"
Remind. "Nothingness in the eyes of the Dharma,"
Verdict. "Not to be more obedient,"
Complain. "During the event, I often talk to some boys who are not careful, indulge in indulgence, and eyebrows,"
Elder Shui scratched his head and took a breath. "So, in your opinion, this girl is just a fox, and she really has nothing to do?"
Nodding at the same time. "That's right!
Maybe she has some advantages, but she doesn't meet our assessment standards at all. Think about Lord Xunyu alive, what a glorious and majestic world!
Can't, you let the person who replaced her be such a slender and crying kitten, coquettish and flattering, what kind of system? β
Sigh. "It's okay to say anything else, but after all, we came from the army. The law is followed, the military discipline is strict, do you ask such a weak and unruly daughter to take home to serve as a princess! β
Identity. Look at her gesture of holding her heart to the moon, crying and wiping her tears. I'm afraid that if I encounter a caterpillar, I will call for help! β
Abandon. "Coquettish at every turn, crying from time to time, this look is simply discrediting the glorious image of General Xunyu!"
Solemnly. "Especially crucially, when the noble woman cultivated by the heir has to attend public many times, how can she be on the stage with this posture?"
After a lot of guns and sticks, sledgehammers and smashes, it was this Shui Elder who was rich and rich, and he couldn't find the right to speak for a while!
only smiled awkwardly, and listened to it with kindness.
The second elder, seeing that he was completely dead and not afraid of boiling water, knew that what he said did not have much effect.
More angry. "Listen, you chose her for the reason,"
Said lightly. "Throughout the ages, everything is easy to break when it is strong, and things are old when it is strong. Weakness, victory over strength.
The old man was fortunate to be able to see a girl in person during the event, and she was able to surpass my calculations and reach another realm. This in itself is very unusual.
I felt that there was an unusually special aura embodied in her, novel and full of mystery.
Maybe she's not as strong as the other girls, or even more delicate. But she had a purity, a tenacity that was in line with her natural nature. β
Unmoved. "Speaking of which, I don't agree!"
Thunder doesn't move. "Old man, don't accept it even more!"
The moon passed through the clouds, and the drum beat became louder and louder. The second elder raised his head high, and kindly 'watched' Elder Shui stay away!
Disagreed, looked at each other. Finally, set his eyes on the old guy Shi who had been sleeping and indifferent.
Stepped forward and shook violently!
Sleepy-eyed. "It's so noisy, it's dawn?"
Grumble. "You old ghost, don't care about anything, it's not more than midnight, and it's dawn!"
Elder Shi, still tired, stared at the candle flame that was burning suddenly, and slowly unbuttoned his coat, his expression relaxed and wanted to fall down and continue to sleep.
Trapped road. "Just have an extra drink and forget to take off your coat. No wonder, I didn't sleep very comfortably,"
Pull. "Stone, you are idle, you don't listen to the things outside the window, you only care about sleeping, let me tell you first, the boss is back!"
Yawn. "Come if you want to come,"
Broken. "It's stinky and hard, there's really no one to govern you, this event, he's waiting for us to report on it, as one of the elders, how can you explain a thing or two."
Trance. "What do you think?"
Elder Shan gritted his teeth and had to repeat it. "Old man, elect No. 1. On the conditions, on the background, on the strength, Mona, should be the best choice for the successor!
In reality, she has the best hope for a strong future for the town. β
Elder Wind, with his back to the sky. "I think Mona, scheming dark. If it is a complete double-edged sword, it will hurt others and hurt itself.
I mean, the sunny and cheerful No. 37, what is it called, pig, pig's heart. Although that child's qualifications are ordinary, there will be no hindrance to his future development,"
Got it. "Old water?"
Sigh. "He, the weirdest, chose the thirty-eighth, a little cute man named Ai Yu!
Just touched him once, that stubborn, then stinky again, now I must go back to ironing clothes, people say that he is meticulous, I think it is incurable! β
Yawn. "Okay, got it,"
Mountain, wind, two old men. In my heart, a bad premonition flowed. "Old Shi, you won't be,"
Admit. "Abstain."
Prayer. "Not this time!"
Crooked. "The old man doesn't know how to socialize."
Unanimous contempt. "You goblin old fellow, do you have to abstain?"
A calm face. "Yes, yes.
The old man has always been unambiguous about big things, and he doesn't pay attention to small things, listen to the boss's orders, and stay upright,"
Swear. "Hateful!"
Encourage. Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. In this competition, we are nothing more than 'observing' and going through the motions. Boss, isn't he the final decider in the competition?
In case, if we smash the pot and smash the field, we will stay away from the tuyere, and we will not need to bear the responsibility of sticking the belt,"
Space, no more words.
Fellow, this old guy is really a chicken thief!
